This is a fantastic 'one stop shop' for scooterists. They have a very good selection of scooters for sale, specializing in the 'economy' scooter brands. It is important to note that Scoot About DOESN'T carry the crap scooters, but only brands that are good enough to carry good guarantees. Many of the models carried by SA come with 2-year warranties, and are serviced in-house by Scoot About. Scoot About's service department is also very good. I have had both my modern and P-series Vespas serviced there, and am very happy with the quality of their work, fair prices, and quick turnaround. They also have a nifty selection of riding gear, accessories for the scoot, and gifts and toys as well. All in all, Scoot About is the ONLY shop in Seattle that offers sales/service/rentals/gear+accessories, and they're straight shooters too! Check them out; you won't be dissappointed!

I had a scooter serviced at Scoot about for the 1st time last month. It was sitting in my garage for a year so it was quite hard to get started. I told them I needed the works and it to be running like new. After stating that they would need to replace most everything ($520 worth) I picked it up a few days later. Then they told me that I might need to replace the starter (It works less than 1/2 time) as an excuse to why I had to kick start it out of the shop. The starter rarely works, the rest of the work seems to be satisfactory. Wouldn't recommend.

I have been getting service for my scooter from Scoot About since 2009 when I attended their All City Scooter Day! Very knowledgeable shop, very quick service, and the lowest show rate in town! Also, I love the selection of fun and comfortable helmets and gloves!

I went to the service department with my bike and not only did they do same day service without an appointment but they also did it 15 dollars an hour cheaper than my other mechanic. The other mechanic couldn't figure out what was wrong with my bike but Scoot About figured it out in 5 minutes, didn't charge me labor , and fixed it. They then did an oil change and service and I was back on the road in a little over an hour. This after just dropping by to see if I could get on the schedule. I have been back a couple more times for stuff (jerk backed over my bike) and they have been just as helpful and fast as before. Two thumbs up!

horrible service I took my vintage Vespa 150 to Scoot About for engine work. They overhauled the bottom half of the engine and did a tune-up. At a cost of $900 they replaced the crank, seals, gaskets, etc. However, less than 3 months later my engine was spewing oil all over the place and the scooter was just generally not running very well. I called the owner and she said they would warranty everything and get my scooter up and running again... but once I had my scooter towed to them and they saw their own shoddy work (cheap bent crank from China, missing nuts and bolts, improperly attached flywheel, loose brake cable, etc), she was saying that she only offered "to give me an estimate for repairs." She tried to tell me that someone else must have ... Show full review
